"Ruin"
Let it Break (2011)
Note: I'm not a guitar player, so I'm not sure the tab is 100%, but
I assume it's an easy song to follow. The transcription is in its
original tune (no capo). Play this during both verses. All notes are 8ths:

[Verse]
Csus4Bb6
Hiding out in trenches I’ve built
Csus4
I’m so good at it now
Bb6
I know how to trick myself
Csus4Bb6
We’ll soon see if you’ll be my ruin
Csus4Bb6
I maybe high but you got me terrified
[Chorus]
AbFmadd9Cm
You make me feel something again
BbAbFmadd9CmBb
You make me feel human
AbFmadd9Cm
You make me feel something again
BbAbFmadd9CmBb
At least I feel human again
[Verse]
Csus4
I was fine with nothing
Bb6
I was fine in a dream
Csus4
Did nobody tell you
Bb6
You can’t wake a girl who pretends to sleep
Csus4Bb6
I, I don’t know how you did it
Csus4
But I can’t catch my breath
Bb6
Wrapped so tightly round my chest
Your love is a tourniquet
[Chorus]
AbFmadd9Cm
You make me feel something again
BbAbFmadd9CmBb
You make me feel human
AbFmadd9Cm
You make me feel something again
BbAbFmadd9CmBb
At least I feel human again
[Break]
AbFmadd9CmBb
[Bridge]
AbFmadd9
What do you burn
Cm
What do you keep
Bb
You can’t wake a girl
Ab
Who pretends to sleep
Fmadd9
Over and over
Cm
Cutting at scars
Bb
You need the darkness
Ab
If you wanna see stars
AbFmadd9
What do you burn
Cm
What do you keep
Bb
You can’t wake a girl
Ab
Who pretends to sleep
Fmadd9
Over and over
Cm
Cutting at scars
Bb
You need the darkness
AbFmadd9CmBb
If you wanna see stars
[Break]
AbFmadd9CmBb
[Bridge]
AbFmadd9Cm
I don’t know why I tell you these things
BbAbFmadd9CmBb
I don’t know why I tell you these things
AbFmadd9Cm
I don’t know why I tell you these things
BbAbFmadd9CmBb
I don’t know why I tell you these things
